$10K Budget for Speakers: Martin Logan Masterpiece vs Tannoy
esputnix, that is an interesting perspective.  I would expect most audio hobbyists would draw the opposite conclusion -- M-L for visual appeal but Tannoy for sonic appeal.M-L can be impressive, like most electrostatics, for their clean detail and ... 
If you could, what live performances would you enjoy re-living?
Correction to my 10/12 post -We went to the Minor Key several times and I saw Miles live in a few various performances and concerts.  But upon reflection I now think the performance that was so special was at the Minor Key but in 1962 with Sonny R...

Rotel Turntable RP 9400 ....any opinions please
This may not help but I'll offer it.  Many years ago (late 1970s) I had to downsize my system and a trusted local dealer recommended the Rotel RP-3000 table and arm, a somewhat similar DD unit.  The arm appeared to be a copy of the SME and overall...

rok, thanks for that O'Day with OP.  They worked well together.I've posted her two numbers from Newport '58 a couple of times.  I never could find another performance by her I liked so well, for me it was mesmerizing.  Just forget about the (dayti...

slaw, that is a favorite of mine as well.  I believe I mentioned it once here but may not have been the recommendation that encouraged you to get it.  Great stuff.  Unfortunately the link on YouTube is blocked.

alex, a lotta years in between.My link, "After hours with Sarah Vaughn" was first released in 1949, then rereleased in 1955 (didn't realize that before).Yours, "Sarah Vaughn - After Hours" was from 1961.Interesting that she released two albums wit...
